The di Lusso Estate Mudgee


Parla come mangi! – Speak the language of your food
"Over the years, since the early 1990's in fact, I'm beginning to think, and more importantly TALK about wine and food like an Italian. First it was grapes and olives, then figs I 'had' to grow on my farm; then herbs and vegetables. Earlier this year it was saffron. From February I'm 'going locavore' with the wine-tasting food I serve in my winery."

Chef Ali tells us the latest...


Summer is definitely here so our menu is reflecting this with delicious dishes to suit the warmer weather! Salads are popular such as our Italian coleslaw which includes fennel, radishes and red cabbage. In the pasta dishes I’m using a fresh smoked salmon instead of cooking it, for a summery taste. In the desserts, the Cassata - an Italian layered icecream cake is proving a hit, as is the refreshing Pannacotta with berries. I’m looking forward to the fig season coming up... and creating different fig salad and dessert dishes!
